Anyone know if the 2025 4Runner will use the same exact 8 speed transmission as in the 2024+ Tacoma? FWIW 2024+ Tacoma is built in Mexico, while the 2025 4Runner will be built in Japan. To me, that is a big difference in favor of the 4R.

$50k would be a great price for a new GX460. Where are these located at? In my area, one Lexus dealership has no new GX460s. They have a certified used 2023 GX460 with 9k miles for $65k and a certified used 2021 GX460 with 42k miles for $52.5k

Sounds like a good deal, better than what I was quoted with Costco discount of ~$3000 off MSRP. OP can you describe what made the Subaru's seat so uncomfortable?

So true. I bought the LX used (CPO), I couldn't justify paying $90k for a vehicle; even though it's a 2009 the interior is still very nice, albeit the infotainment system is outdated. Given its high mileage and high costs of maintenance/repairs needed, I figure I try to find something with...

$3300 off MSRP is a good deal and good buy. Definitely can't go run with the 4Runner, well built and very reliable. I look forward to hearing what others say about driving the 4R for lengthy periods. A few posts have suggested the 4Runner's seats are not very comfortable long term, hopefully...

I saw some videos of the GX550 last night and this morning, automotive press just go there hands on them in Arizona; looks awesome, modern interior, very well designed, built in Tahara, Japan, etc. Very droll worthy. Agreed fuel economy only a few more mpg than 4R. That and the price, $70-75k...

Just found this thread and it's a bit alarming. Been looking at the 2024 4R Limited. One of the main reasons I'm looking at the 4Runner is that the 4R does not have a huge center console that my right knee can bump into, hence I can "manspread." FWIW I'm not that big of a guy, 5'11" with...

Congratz! One item checked off and onto the next one...

Hi there, please don't say that your 4R will be your last new vehicle. I recently went through a traumatic family event, and I learned that we all have to treat life with optimism. It's great that you treated yourself to a new truck! My wife has a NX300H which she has been really happy with...

Anyone with 2018+ 4Runners with ARBs have issues with their running boards? Do 2018+ 4R have updated components/ECU/Controller?

I test drove a 2023 4R Limited with my wife yesterday. For a vehicle design that is what, 15 years old, the chair/arm rests/center console area fits my body like a glove. Last time I drove a 4R was about 7-8 years ago, but this time the 2023 Limited feels more updated. Wife esp like the...

Hi everyone, My current DD is a 2009 Lexus LX 570 with 167k miles. It's a great SUV but I am thinking of passing it down to my daughter who recently got her driver's license. I've been studying Consumer Reports ad nauseam on which auto to get. Preference is a SUV that is reliable, AWD/4WD...

What's going on with the Tundra?

You hit it. Kind of frustrating during my hunt for a used Toyota based SUV... good 4R go just like that; what's remaining are heavily rusted ones from the east coast. I'm kind of having remorse for not picking up the overpriced but Toyota certified 4R Sport I saw a few weeks ago. This LX is...

We'll see what happens. In process of negotiation for some AV repairs...
